Well, I did it. Brown truck tossed it to me on his way by this afternoon. Going with the 20cc RCG rail mount engine. That was just shipped this afternoon, so it'll be a while.

Andy, what did you run into balancing it with the Syssa? Servos stayed in the original position, or were they moved to back? If original, did you use stock pushrods or something else?

Dove right in, spent the afternoon working out the wrinkles, mostly on the control surfaces. Fuselage was perfect. Turned out OK. Then installed angle stock around the landing gear box. Cut a hole under the gas tank to access the area. Drilled holes for toothpicks angling from the outside through LG block and into the bulkheads. That thing shouldn't be going anywhere! Yes, I'm tough on landing gear. I do know how to fly... but (screwed up) tail wheel first landings, Harriers, stupid stuff take their toll. I've learned to just beef it up best possible is easier going into it than later.

Next is hinging. Not using the supplied hinges. Will use Gorilla glue to fasten pin type DuBro probably. Tried the Gorilla glue a couple planes back. REALLY like how that stuff expands/works! Much easier to work with than epoxy too I think.

Regarding the 160 twin, I'd save it for something bigger, but that's just me. I think the plane is border line heavy as it is?
